The Life and Times of Edward Winterhalder

Edward Winterhalder is the world's leading authority on motorcycle clubs and the outlaw biker lifestyle; his eleven books are published in multiple languages and sold all over the world. In addition to his literary endeavors, he is a consultant to the entertainment industry for TV, feature film and DVD projects that focus on the biker lifestyle, and has appeared worldwide on television networks such as Bravo, Nat Geo, History Television, CBC, Fox, Global, Prime and the History Channel.

Under the pseudonym of Warren Winters, Edward Winterhalder formed the Warren Winters Band in the 1980s after fronting the Connecticut Dust Band during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Playing guitar and singing lead vocals, he utilized a group of studio musicians and his childhood friend Kurt Newman (drums) to record the "As I Was" debut album in 1984 on the Shovster Records label. In 1988, the "Crossbar Hotel" album was recorded at Grace Recording Studios in Connecticut with Warren Winters (guitar & lead vocals), Andy Rutman (guitar), Kurt Newman (drums), Lou Sabetta (keyboards) and Mario Figueroa (bass). On both albums, the song writing credits noted that all songs were written by Edward Winterhalder.

In 1995, "The Best Of Warren Winters" CD was mastered and produced by Chris Westerman of Blackwater Sound in New Hampshire. Along with hit songs from the "As I Was" and "Crossbar Hotel" albums, the compilation featured a few songs from his Connecticut Dust Band days and some unreleased tracks from studio sessions. While the music of the Warren Winters Band was once described as being somewhere between rock n' roll and progressive country, a 2011 article in France compared the Warren Winters Band sound to Acey Stone, Circuit Rider and Justen O'Brien.

We regret to inform you that our YouTube channel (formerly seen at https://www.youtube.com/edwardwinterhalder),
with more than 150 movie clips, movies, TV clips, TV shows, TV news clips, and
videos about outlaw bikers and motorcycle clubs, was terminated without cause on January 2, 2018. The official notice from YouTube stated:

Your YouTube account has been suspended because we've
determined that activity in your account violated ourCommunity
Guidelines, which prohibit spam, scams, or
commercially deceptive content. Your account is not terminated for claims of
copyright infringement.

Although we have never used the channel to send spam, or to run a scam, or to display commercially deceptive
content, multiple appeals to YouTube in the last few days have fallen on deaf ears.

Our YouTube channel contained the
largest library of cinematic content about outlaw bikers and motorcycle clubs (from the 1950s to 2017) in the world; it was in existence for 8+ years, and
had more than 5,000,000 views and 6,300 subscribers.

More than likely, the channel termination
was due to a recent YouTube policy change which introduced a new algorithm
to the video sharing platform that mandates only appropriate content be
eligible for monetization in the future. Since then, YouTube’s new monetization
policy has negatively impacted practically every content creator using the
site.

“New safeguards” announced by YouTube in 2017 were designed
to demonetize content related to or discussing “tragedy and conflict”, as well
as “sensitive social issues”. Since outlaw bikers and motorcycle clubs are considered
to be sensitive social issues in this day and age, it doesn’t take a rocket
scientist to read between the lines.
